Killing Joke are an English rock band from Notting Hill, London, England, formed in 1978 by Jaz Coleman (vocals, keyboards), Paul Ferguson (drums), Geordie Walker (guitar) and Youth (bass). The band's musical style emerged from the post-punk scene, but stood out due to their heavier approach, and has been cited as a key influence on industrial rock. Their style evolved over many years, at times incorporating elements of gothic rock, synth-pop and electronic music, often bearing Walker's prominent guitar and Coleman's "savagely strident vocals". Killing Joke have influenced many later bands and artists, such as Metallica, Nirvana, Nine Inch Nails and Soundgarden.

Gatherers of the world, Killing Joke have announced the release of Malicious Damage - Live At The Astoria 12.10.03. Released on September 6 through Killing Joke Records / Cadiz Music, the 2003 concert will be beautifully presented as a strictly limited edition DVD / vinyl and unlimited double CD.

2008 live session recorded at KJ bassist Youth's studio in Granada, Spain . This was the first time that the original line-up (Jaz Coleman, Geordie, Youth and Big Paul Ferguson) had played together since 1982, in preparation for their 2008 world tour. Born during the Post-Punk movement of the late '70s, KJ's often erratic and convoluted career has done nothing to damage their reputation, which is reflected in the respect they now receive. 14 tracks including 'Requiem', 'Tension', 'Eighties', 'Love Like Blood' and more.
